Abstract
A venereal disease educational program entitled Venereal Disease Education in West Virginia was constructed. It consisted of a preliminary test to assess the level of general knowledge of venereal diseases, a value survey list, a lecture illustrated by color slides and a final test. The program was presented to 3210 students in Northcentral West Virginia who ranged in age from 12-20 yr (7th-12th grade). The mean score in the preliminary test was 7.97 (53%) correct answers out of 15, and the mean score in the preliminary test was 11.55 (77%) correct answers out of 15. The ability of students to retain the information given to them was measured by testing the same class of 53 students 1 yr later. These students obtained a mean score of 11.41 (76%) correct answers out of 15 in the later test which demonstrates that the students retained much of the information.
